Le Sereno

St-Barthélemy


Back in business after getting wiped out by Hurricane Irma, this luxe contender was rebuilt using sustainable wood and stone and is a class act. Good-sized units have breezy design and energy-saving high-tech touches. Relax by the pool, swim with turtles in the bay, paddle around in a kayak or enjoy a gourmet meal in the stunning alfresco restaurant.

For a special treat, work out the kinks in the petite spa run by a certified osteopath.
